    heres the catch i dont have to pay for ORI struts and i get free steel... so really no cost in doing links but huge cost in leafs... and i would need to narrow my axle and get new inner shafts with links. I have ran the numbers on the 3 link calculator and everything comes out cherry. So i guess we will see

    Another question, can a rear axle be converted into a front axle? (It's from a tacoma, same year as mine.)

    Thanks, I didn't figure it would work, or be worth it. But there's a guy parting his truck out near me so I figured why not ask.

    Well, I got this far today and found out my Yukon 35 spline stubs (wasn't my choice, they came with my axles) don't fit through the outer knuckle :rolleyes: I'll hit the ears of the axle shaft with my grinder and call it good :cool:
